Sisters closed out its regular season Thursday night with a 20-0 victory over Elmira, which gave first-year coach Hayden Hudson some free time to work on the stats from the game.

He knew Pleasant Hill was playing Madras in a 3A Special District 3 finale just an hour away, but he tried to keep his mind off the result that would decide his team’s playoff fate.

Finally, one of his assistants provided a score update with a couple of minutes left. The White Buffaloes were knocking off Pleasant Hill, which would forge a three-way tie for the district title.
